Talking Points:

• AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 0.7559, 0.7421, 0.7262

• Resistance:0.7740, 0.7937, 0.8045

The Australian Dollar is sliding downward against its US counterpart as expected after producing a Doji candlestick. Near-term support is in the 0.7559-7618 area (23.6% Fibonacci expansion, March 11 low), with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 0.7421.Alternatively, a push above the 14.6% expansion at 0.7740clears the way for a challenge of the March 24 high at 0.7937.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
